STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION
If the engine stop switch is set to “ ” and pressing the ON/start switch for one second, the starter motor
can only operate if at least one of the following conditions is met:
• The front brake lever is pulled to the handlebar (the front brake light switch is closed) and the side-
stand is up (the sidestand switch is closed).
• The rear brake lever is pulled to the handlebar (the rear brake light switch is closed) and the sidestand
is up (the sidestand switch is closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the starter motor from operating when neither of these condi-
tions has been met. In this instance, the starting circuit cut-off relay is open so current cannot reach the
starter motor. When at least one of the above conditions has been met, the starting circuit cut-off relay
is closed and the engine can be started by pressing the ON/start switch.
